If you could read my mind lyrics

Artist  : Gene clark 
Song : If you could read my mind
 
Just like an old time movie 
Em 
Bout a ghost from a wishin` well. 
A A7 D 
In a castle dark... or a fortress strong 
E F#m 
With chains upon my feet 
D A 
You know that ghost is me. 
D A 
And I will never be set free 
D E A 
As long as I`m a ghost that you can`t see. 
A 
If I could read your mind, love, 
Em 
What a tale your thoughts would tell. 
A 
Just like a paper-back novel... 
Em 
The kind that drug stores sell. 
A A7 D 
When you reach the part where the heartaches come

E F#m 
The hero would be me... 
D A 
And heros often fail 
D A 
And you won`t read that book again 
D E A 
Because the ending`s just too hard to take. 
A7 D 
I walk away like a movie star 
E F#m 
Who gets burned in a three-way script... 
D A 
Enter number two 
D A 
A movie queen to plays the scene 
D E F#m 
Of bringing all the good things out in me. 
D A 
But for now. love, lets be real. 
D A 
I never thought I could act this way 
D 
And I`ve got to say 
E 
That I just don`t get it. 
D A 
I don`t know where we went wrong 
D 
But the feeling`s gone 
E A 
And I just can`t get it back 
A 
If you could read my mind, love 
Em 
What a tale my thoughts could tell. 
A 
Just like an old time movie 
Em 
Bout a ghost from a wishin` well 
A A7 D 
In a castle dark... or a fortress strong 
E F#m 
With chains upon my feet... 
D A 
And stories always have an end. 
D A 
If you read between the line 
D E F#m 
You know I`m just trying to understand 
D A 
The feelings that you lack 
D A 
I never thought I could act this way 
D E 
And I`ve got to say that I just don`t get it. 
D A 
I don`t know where we went wrong 
D 
But the feeling`s gone 
E 
And I just can`t get it 
D A 
Never thought I could act this way. 
D E 
And I`ve got to say that I just don`t get it. 
D A 
I don`t know where we went wrong 
D 
But the feeling`s gone 
E A 
And I just can`t get it back
